Come for the Imax tech lessons, stay for tales of a '70s drive-in and porn theater projectionist... This interview delivers SO many more delights than its headline suggests.

You can thank this retired projectionist for those 3 a.m. showings of ‘The Odyssey’ in 70-mm. Imax, Christopher Nolan’s preferred format.

I expanded a bit on my post about being unable to get a job after being laid off in 2024. I was, honestly, shocked by how many of us are in the same boat. The job market sucks, but it REALLY sucks for GenX women.

RIP to director Chuck Russell, who you probably know most as the director of the Mask, but whose masterpiece film that you should absolutely go back and watch is his 1988 remake of The Blob. Seriously, it's a near perfect movie.

Filmmaker Chuck Russell has passed away at 74. Chuck Russell directed The Blob & Nightmare on Elm Street: Dream Warriors in the 1980s, and later directed The Mask, Eraser, Bless the Child, The Scorpion King, and Witchboard (2025). A horror legacy that will never be forgotten.

A lot of people don’t realize the dust bowl wasn’t a natural phenomenon. It happened when agrobusiness interests dramatically transformed the plains without regard for drought, and created vicious dust storms that choked whole families to death. That’s what I think of when I read about data centers.

“America has stood at this line before. Not near it. At it…The parasites were not reformed, redeemed, or converted. They were outlasted — by a host that rebuilt its own immune system beneath them until the environment stopped rewarding their behavior.” thegrimhistorian.substack.com/p/has-americ...

Has America Crossed the Asshole Threshold?

Civilizations can carry a surprising number of parasites and live. But there’s a line — Rome crossed it, the Gilded Age toed it, and for the first time in history, we can measure it.

My oldest daughter has spent most of the past year asking if she could see The Backrooms when it came out. I went to see it in advance with my wife, and after some consideration, we decided to say yes. (Spoiler: She had a blast) www.crossplay.news/p/taking-a-k...

I am yet again getting on my soapbox to tell y’all about how my previous job (public library) received a grant once to keep branches in some neighborhoods open until midnight on Fri and Sat. The neighborhoods were picked specifically because of higher crime rates and lack of support services (1/ )

Sam Neill was one of one, unique. He elevated every frame of film he was ever in.. He was a special gift to horror, able to play anything from the most terrified to the most terrifying. A damn fine actor and, by all accounts, an even better human His memory is already a blessing.

One American antisemitic myth of Jews is that we are all foreigners. Here, a Jewish outlet is promoting that myth to score cheap political points in support of its own Islamophobic agenda. It’s a good example of how Jewish-American Islamophobia is 1) wrong on its own and 2) bad for Jews

Javi knows. This is spot on. These dynamics, plus shorter seasons/shorter overall runs... it's all bad for television, just bad for the form all around. Anyway, thread:

i believe that the the entire "binge watch" model of releasing television series is based on a faulty premise, and that faulty premise has significantly devaluated television as an art form. stick with me on this one...

I’m so excited to see landmark series THE PRISONER land on Criterion Channel! Patrick McGoohan’s paranoid, Orwellian riff on sci-fi spy TV rewired my brain when I saw it as a teen, and packs even more of a punch in today’s surveillance state.
